Look into having tycho/maven build call on the gradle build script that downloads tooling api libs before actual tyhco build

Details

Description

Since recently, tooling-api jars and its dependencies are no longer being committed to git repo.
This means that before running the actual tycho build to build the STS gradle tooling these commands have to be done first to download them and update some files (like manifest.mf).

cd com.springsource.sts.gradle.core
./gradlew

This makes the build-master's job a little bit harder (just one more thing to remember).

Perhaps it is possible to add something to the maven build so that it will call the gradle script in one of the early stages. Thereby the buildmaster can do the same thing for the gradle tooling builds as for any other builds in the STS family.
